Can we all just appreciate how amazing our era of tech is right now! A lot of people take for granite how amazing these lil devices are, iOS or android. It's doesn't matter. They're all amazing. Remember you're first time seeing a touch screen device, must've been one of amusement. Instead of arguing on who did who, appreciate the effort placed into any device, low grade or high grade.
Steven Beardsworth the lgflex has a snap dragon 800gpu with a true 720p grid array screen better then a shitty iPhone plus(which is way slower). Currently rocking a lg pro 2 imported freshly from korea.
AdamantiumDragon NG I see as huge difference in screen quality between my iphone 6+ and my old g flex.. the camera is better on the iphone, I know its lower MP, but the photos are 100x better in my eyes. my g flex was a terriblephone for me, I love my iphone way more!
Even though this is 9 years old, and I am 19 years old as of now, I actually remember when the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus came out. Rockin’ the iPhone 14 Pro Max now
Great video Taylor and I agree with you on most points except the multi-window stuff. I know you use multi-window a lot on Note devices but I have owned every single note phone but I have not found some good usage of it. It is just me and everybody is different and I understand that. I do think that some app take advantage of larger display in landscape such apple's own apps e.g. settings, messages, app store, mail and few third party apps such as CNN etc. Of course as the time pass there would much more support. I am also very impressed with the battery life. I have owned every single iPhone since first iPhone but I also used to use it as my secondary (except the first generation iPhone) but now this 6+ is the iPhone that I have always wanted from Apple. I am very happy that finally I have got what I wanted. The camera is also very good in some conditions and finally I would be comfortable to take photos with a smartphone as I have very high standards for acceptable photos.
The differences between the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus are merely hardware differences. Larger screen with higher resolution, larger battery, and a camera with OIS. In terms of software, it's practically identical. The larger screen doesn't make iOS any more useful. On some Android phones like from Samsung, Sony, and LG, you can do multiple things at the same time thanks to windowed apps. That makes a larger screen much more useful. On the iPhone 6 Plus, you are still just doing one thing at a time, just on a larger screen.
I have the Note 2 with windowed apps and multitasking view, etc. I rarely use them and they don't really increase the functionality of the phone for me. Only dropped my iPhone 4 to get this bigger Android screen, but now my iPhone 6 plus is on order. I think for many who got Androids only for the bigger displays, the pull back to the big iPhone 6/+ will be irresistible, because the base use-case outcomes for a phone are better in iOS than in Android IMHO. I will miss the stylus though.
Wow... when Samsung and all the other Android phone selling companies released the big touchscreen smartphones back in 07' and 08' you were all like "It's too big" and "Nobody's gonna want that" but when the iPhone 6 Plus comes out and is much bigger then all dem' smartphones back then back then you guys love it. What the fuck people...
I'm not a fanboy or anything. Though, maybe the time set has changed and people to be honest use their phones more for other purposes rather than actually calling. Additionally, why can't people just buy a product without people saying this is better or that. These companies are loving it when consumers do that, because they know you (not directed at you) will be running back for some more, even if it's a very minor upgrade.
Amir Shezad TBH, considering the 6 Plus is the biggest phone in the world at the moment has even lower specs then the Galaxy S4 yet even more expensive then the Galaxy Note 4... I honestly think that's a total rip-off.
I really Love pocket now, it's my #1 subscription. Jaime Rivera it's a must, a lot of fun. But Taylor it's something especial, unique, there is nobody in youtube that does reviews like him, I've seen a lot of them, too many. I think it's just sincere.
So glad to have my iPhone back. That Samsung S5 was wearing me out. Love the whole Apple ecosystem and the iPhone 6 Plus. That phone is a beast. Trust me, you will absolutely love that phone.
Right on! I will soon own a Note 4. Been a galaxy family since the GS1. Iphone is too plain for me. I like the old model style like the Iphone 5s Gold. I actually fell in love with that phone. Now, Apple just disappoints me. Note 4 is known as the "King of Phablets".
I recently upgraded to the NOTE 4 after having lost my NOTE 3, and I love it. Given I am a full user of the S Pen and Touchwiz features like Scrapbook, Action Memo and S Note... I'm trying very hard to find a reason to get the iPhone 6 Plus as a second device... and unsuccessfully so. Perhaps the 'sophomore' version (iPhone 6s Plus?) the next release will have convincingly optimised features, and then I will get it.
That's the iAnt - it costs an extra $200 and you can only buy it when you first purchase your phone. Other manufacturers let you use your own ants, and swap for a larger ant at any time.
The battery is a beast. I ve been using it for 3 days and it does deliver. I now use both the note 3 and 6+. Note 3 for calls, texts and occasional multimedia and 6+ for games, music, face time and TH-cam. Can't wait for the Note 4 Edge
^I have the iPhone 6 in gold and honestly I think the battery life in it is amazing I don't know if it's the same For other people but it's really good and I love my phone a lot
Georgia M Yeah my battery life is good too! What really wears it down for others if that they listen to music on it and I keep my music separate on an iPod shuffle. Plus I'd carry a portable charger with me all the time, so I don't worry so much about my phone going dead on me.
+The Ultimate Variety Channel™ i went from the ipod 5 [tiny and yes i know that it is not an iphone] to the iphone 6 plus and after about two days the ipod felt tiny and the iphone 6 plus feels normal
I have both a 6 plus and a HTC one m8...coming from someone who is not bias to Apple or android, I truly think that the iPhone is much better - more user friendly, overall smoother and faster experience and just feels more premium
Have an iPhone 6+ and love it so far. Really hard to say if the iPhone6 would have been better... One-handed usage is a relatively big deal, but everything else you do with your phone aside from calling (web-browsing, watching videos, playing games, looking at photos) is exponentially better on the larger display. That new LCD sure is gorgeous on the 6+.
***** Samsung 'used' to LAG. It doesn't LAG from Note 3 onwards. Maybe if you're a picky freak. And stylus is handy for shopping lists, pen window etc. which an average consumer will use for instance, to play a youtube video and do something else at once. You can do so much more with the Note and it is a much better looking product IMO.
VoodooMadMike41 I agree with you, with huge phones, Samsung has the best features... even though it's buggy.. but offers more than the iphone 6 plus. When it comes to the S5... well... more of a personal choice but i'll prefer either iphone 6 or HTC one m8.
VoodooMadMike41 I *am* a picky freak, that's why I prefer iOS devices to Android having used Android since Gingerbread. Used to hate iPhones until I acquired taste.
Anyone else hate that iPhone 6 ad that comes up on TV all the time, and all the guy had to say was, "huge"? Like, wow, I get it. Totally 'cool'. You have a big screen, too bad you didn't mention any way you actually took advantage of it.
I recently bought Motorola V3688 - I had one 15 year ago and I bought unpacked one for $300 - I use the phone only for phone calls, but when people see me it they are going mad about it! I love it! Best phone ever made for what it is, for phone calls!
I'm an android guy and I used the 6+ yesterday and absolutely loved it. The size is not too big but it is slippery so it definitely needs a case. The screen is A LOT better than the normal iPhone 6 screen especially in sharpness and the battery life does seem epic. It's just a lot of money for what I think is still not as robust as an android phone. Also as a side note use one of these before you buy it because the power button on the side was a little too high for my liking.
Am I the only apple fan boy that is disappointed this year? I mean even watching the keynote and all I heard was amazing, truly epic, killer display..... This is not an upgrade to the 5S. Protruding camera? Yeah cause that was meant. I love iOS personally. But come on, another 8mega pixel camera??? We heard different lense the first time and now all new iSight 8 mega pixel! Let me leave on this note, iOS is not for everyone, and to be honest your average iPhone user doesn't look for features they look for consistent excellence and the iPhone in my opinion does it with ease. Just because I'm not jumping with excitement at the iPhone 6 doesn't mean I'll switch to something else. The iPhone 5S is the best iPhone in my opinion.
IPhone 6 is literally a iPhone 5s with a larger display, and a few small irrelevant changes. Note 4 or G3 it is for me, not sure which I'll get but my g flex just isn't doing it for me anymore.
Well I sold my iPhone 5S ready too buy the 6 and I was disappointed I bought a Samsung Galaxy S5 and to be honest it's a cracking wee phone. Thought I would have sold it by now but I still have it. Thanks for the reply.
I've hade the iPhone 6 plus for a little more than a month and I really love it, the only downfall so far is the battery, it's IMPRESSIVELY good the first month, then it gets pretty bad, not as bad as a earlier iPhone but not what you expected from the iPhone 6+. After a day in school with normal use of the phone I'll have to charge it in the evening. That's it for me, I still recommend the 6+ though :)
I wonder if that's because the battery is really high capacity, so people tend to go for long periods of time without charging it, instead of topping it up every night?
Great..Mashallah Are you afford to carry another iPhone 6 pluse too? I'll send you my address to send it. . haha Actually you are exactly like me but I am a girl I like to have the best smart phones in the market. , Good luck
Left android for the 6 plus, not regretting it one bit. If it's within your means get the 128gb model. It's so worth having the storage space and I love having all things Microsoft on my phone so I can be productive on the run. Simply something that runs fast and seamlessly.
I'm not going to say anything bad about the Iphone 6 but I only had mine for less than 24 Hours. I took it back and got the Note 4. The phone is just TOO damn limited and barely have good features. If you want to buy the Iphone, by all means, get it. For me, That phone doesn't come close to what the Note 4 can do.
I got a black TPU S-curve case for my 6+ that shows the Apple logo on the back. The phone + case looks amazing and it is the most grippy setup I have ever used. Better looking than my iPhone 5, LG G2 and Note 3.
Marco Polio additional fun facts: iOS 5-8 was inspired by Android 6+ was inspired by Galaxy Note Maps was inspired by Google Watch was inspired by Samsung Gear iPad was inspired by Microsoft tablet pc iPad Pro was inspired by Galaxy Tab Pro
2 things I like the most on my iPhone 6 plus is the battery life and camera. the battery can run for a full day no problem, sometime it can run for 2 days. the camera is the best so far. love the slo-mo fuction. I know the phone is a little bit big but you will get use to it in 2 weeks. if you want to get the iPhone 6 plus. try to get 64gb or 128gb model. you going to needed.
Thank God it's not that Marco guy doing the review.... Seriously, he's the only one out of your staff that I skip right through. Keep up the great reviews! (and get rid of Marco)
I have the iPhone 6 plus in gold. Got it the first day it was released, and I upgraded from an iPhone 5. I love the screen size, but other than that and the improved camera, there's nothing really different. The phone seems to randomly crash from apps a lot more than my iPhone 5. And it's just so hefty to carry around like at social events. I may be selling it and just buying an iPhone 5s used.
Taylor Martin is such an iSheep. He blindly accepts everything Apple does as "awesome" I'd rather Michael Fisher review this Phone. So we can have some actual opinion, and not just fanboyism.
Navigation keys is awesome. I use landscape more to type all the time, so each user is different. The poster gives his opinion and usage patterns ... make sure to compare it to your own usage.
I use to be a Samsung die hard till Samsung did and update and screwed my cell up, I immediately switched to and iPhone 6 plus and it's only the second day and I will not be going back to Samsung
I agree coming from a s5 to a 6+, iPhone just works. I couldn't go anywhere with the s5 without a damn charger it's ridiculous, or burning my hands from the heat when I used it too long. I will never go back to Samsung.
That's funny you posted this cause I had a note 4 and the recent update made my phone lag and battery dies faster to the point I would have two batteries. Now I can have a phone to last all day with my iPhone 6 plus
Four months late and I still love this phone and it just keeps getting better. I am one to try an upgrade to the latest phone but this will be my third baby for a couple years! Glad everyone is enjoy the iPhone! Oh and the galaxy phone was terrible with over heating, my daughter could play her games on it at all
+DucSector we actual did that, I went to the Verizon store and did a factory reset and it made the phone worse, it froze on the guy as well, they told me my best option was to upgrade to the next samsung, I laughed and decided it was time to switch, iPhone 6 plus has been the best phone and I am still trying to find one thing to complain about it and I can't, for a big phone and how much I use it, the battery life is awesome, speed is awesome and it's my favorite color Gold
I feel you man, I had every iPhone up to the 5 and I always had a Android device, but I couldn't take the small size of the iPhone anymore and I said I will get a iPhone again when they make a big one, I have the Note 4, Nexus 6 and iPhone 6 plus and i love all 3.
hey does your or anyone's 6 or 6 plus make a loud click wherever the home button is pressed? What I mean by loud is that you can HEAR the click when the home button is pressed? PLEASE HELP!!!!!
Hey Taylor. I've been following your video coverage of the iPhone 6/ 6+ this last week. Thx btw. You guys gave me enough objective feedback to make a informed decision. That being said I'm still waiting for your take on the swipe left and right navigation feature. Some of you have criticized Apple for sticking with the top left back button, never mentioning you can use gestures instead. I'd love for you to cover this in one of Pocketnow's future videos.
a phone that almost requires case...just to hold securely. so much for using metal. apple doesn't have any regard to balancing and making the phone comfortable to hold. they are getting worse every year. even when iphone was small it wasn't grippy at all
Its soft metals doesn't have a good metal for the frame inside the phone like on the notes from samsung. Samsung has never had this problem even with the plastic phones, and the new note4 looks better and it way more solid than this overpriced garbage isheep following device apple has come out with.
Okay so no case all week and no bending? That's a good sign. I'm getting mine tomorrow been waiting since pre order day! I ordered the 6 plus on pre order day from Sprint corporate store and it's just coming in tomorrow! I think if bending is really a issue it's going to pick up fast because most of the pre orders are just starting to come in!
I have an iPhone 5s. I thought it was a huge screen coming from the iPhone 4s. My wife has an iPhone 6 plus and I love it! I just can't wait till march to upgrade!!
Simply put, try out the Plus for at least a couple of days. You will be surprised how wonderful it is! The screen and battery life is AMAZING! With use, you wouldn't even notice the size at all! Oh, and yes- once you go big you can never go back!
Just my two coppers. But the one thing that's kept me from IOS phones is the size. I've long been a Samsung user simply because of the size of my videos I watch. I just ordered my Iphone 6+. Im pretty excited to finally make the switch.
+breezy Would it be unpractical for someone with small hands like me? I have very small hands but I like the bigger look of the iphone 6 plus. I think it is great for watching movies, videos, games, etc.
Although I prefer android, I was intrigued about the iphone 6 plus. I'm not an android fan boy where as I won't consider an Apple product at all. However, after watching this video, I think pre-ordering the Note 4 is the right choice. At least for me. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
I believe the battery life is so good because the multi-tasking features that would take advantage of the larger phone are just not there. They used the extra space for a larger battery, basically giving you a larger iPhone, which is what you said. You said the low light was good but I disagree. I have an iPhone and I am a first time user coming from using a Lumia Icon. Maybe I was spoiled by the low-light feature from the Lumia but Wow! I never needed a flash with the Icon but I find myself needing it with the iPhone. The pics are underwhelming without it. Maybe this warrants a side-by-side comparison?
Great review. I appreciate it when someone is expert & focused on their task. I had taken it for granted that the iPhone 6 plus would not be right for me, too big just too big. But then I took a drastic step. I went to the Apple Store and actually picked one up. It felt right, just right. I was surprised because I had already made up my mind. And as far as the features, Apple is a superior product. That's a given. Deal with it.
Extremely pleased with the battery life! Best I had was 3 1/2 days stand by, 12 1/2 hours of usage. Longest stand by was 4 days, for now. I BARELY used my phone today, 1 hour of usage, 12 hours of stand by and have 99% left.
I ordered my iPhone 6+ 64gb in gold from Apple Store uk, and this bending issue guys, trust me it does not bend. Me and my brother went to our local electrical store and we both tried to bend and it didn't. The reason I went for iPhone 6+ is because the battery is very good.
My wife will not even consider the plus until a fashion wallet case is available. I agree the plus has some "frailty" issues. Having put hands on a Note 4 yesterday I am thinking of it and waiting until Android L is available for my large phone.
Good review, points and stuff I didnt know. I ordered the 6 Plus a couple days ago. Im still using the 4.0 from July 2010 with iOS 6 so its going to be a big change in size and function. Im getting a case because it will be dropped, plus it gives it some additional strength.
I currently have the Nexus 6 with Sprint and I'm eligible to upgrade next month. I'm considering the 6+. I've never owned an iPhone so this will be a HUGE learning curve for if I decide to make the switch.
Just recently bought a LG Flex. I love the multitasking, extra windows, and dual apps. What's the point of having a big screen without those features? It seems Apple didn't take advantage of the large screen.
I held the iPhone 6+ and have to say it felt amazing and really well built (ignoring the iBend statements). But I'd still take a HTC One M8 any day. Congrats to Apple though, I can easily see why this phone is desirable.
Thank you for this honest review of the handset. I like that you gave all of the current features of the handset. I would buy the iphone 6 because I have a tablet and do not need a big phone. I am probably going to upgrade to the iphone next year with jump when the 6S comes out.
The best implementation of a 5+ screen has been done by LG. I have no idea why apple had to chase the phablet market? I mean most of the people I have talked or seen only got the iPhone 6+ because of the better battery! But otherwise they don't like that big of a phone (majority of people) only if they didn't chase the slim game and made the iPhone 6 just a bit bulkier to give it a better battery(2300 or above) then it would have been great. I'll still opt for the HTC one m8.
I got the phone and have loved it it is my iPad in a phone form factor. The battery is amazing and the camera blows mind. I think that people that want this to be a Samsung Note but I do not. I like the big screen and battery that goes with. I also love the fact that you can have third party keyboard. Over all this is the best iPhone every and a foot note the video capability is amazing especially the slow motion capture.
I jus love how consistent the IOS operating system is. It's almost lag free. There is always lag issues with the Samsung Phones that ive used which on paper packs a hell of a lot more power.
I myself carry both an android (HTC one m7) and IOS (iPhone 5) device. "Which I will update to the M8 and 6 plus. Not just because one phone is better than the other but because they are unique in their own ways. I love the simplicity and easy usage of the iphone. But when it comes down to file downloading and music listening I would prefer the M7 with beats audio. My point is that it's all up to user and what he/she wants out of a mobile device that they will be using on a daily basis for what ever they might need it if it's either for business,gaming,web browsing, or just making phone calls, texting and emailing.
I'm not loyal to any one brand anymore. I have the Xperia Z Ultra, Lumia 1520 and Galaxy Note 3, I love what apple has done with the 6 plus and will definitely be buying one pretty soon. Their previous phones were more for girls in my opinion. I just dont know if I should get it now or wait for the 6s plus.
can't wait for my iphone 6 plus im getting it in 2 days :) i love apple but changed to xperia z2 coz battery life matters so much to me. now that they have an iphone that has an amazing battery life i am just super happy and cant contain my excitement hheeh i got the gold!
I'm pretty happy with the battery life I get from my iPhone 6, before I couldn't get through 3 hours of use before I would be down to 70% and need to plug in, now I can go a full day without charging and have 30% by night 👍
I believe anyone's best bet would be to get an unlocked one on Amazon. I'm not sure how cellular contracts work, it may be cheaper, but purchasing an unlocked iPhone 6/6 Plus on Amazon is a great move. I bought my 6 Plus on Amazon, it hasn't arrived yet, and I'm scared to find out exactly how big it is up close haha
The iPhone 6 Plus is a great phone. I would really prefer it to people who want to have a phablet. Though when it comes to price, I'll go with the Note 4 since it's a bit cheaper but both phones are great and it depends on what the user's needs.
Can we all just appreciate how amazing our era of tech is right now! A lot of people take for granite how amazing these lil devices are, iOS or android. It's doesn't matter. They're all amazing. Remember you're first time seeing a touch screen device, must've been one of amusement. Instead of arguing on who did who, appreciate the effort placed into any device, low grade or high grade.
And I know it's a matter of promises made but the whole point of a phone is to call someone! Be grateful it does much more than that for you!

went from a lg g flex to iPhone 6+ and I LOVE IT! will never go back to android
To be fair, Lg G Flex is a weak phone. Upgrading to top android phones or ios phones would be a huge upgrade. That being said, the 6+ is awesome.

So glad to have my iPhone back. That Samsung S5 was wearing me out. Love the whole Apple ecosystem and the iPhone 6 Plus. That phone is a beast. Trust me, you will absolutely love that phone.
I'll take the Note 4 instead, thank you very much,
Why
shazwan arif You get a lot more features and nifty things that actually take advantage of the bigger screen (unlike the iPhone 6+)
***** I'm pretty sure the Note doesn't lag. My S4 never lags.
***** How do I "tell" myself, I own the fucking thing (the Galaxy S4)... I hate touchwiz as every other samsung fan does but that doesn't stop me lol.
Right on! I will soon own a Note 4. Been a galaxy family since the GS1. Iphone is too plain for me. I like the old model style like the Iphone 5s Gold. I actually fell in love with that phone. Now, Apple just disappoints me. Note 4 is known as the "King of Phablets".
Why have I not seen one of your videos before? You're clear, intelligent, biased in a good way and provide full disclosure. Thank you!
I love how innovative Apple is! I'm loving this new bend feature, really makes the image pop!
It's ibend feature.
That was overblown. Wasn’t ever an issue for almost everyone.

There was an ant on your iPhone at the beginning lol
It was excited for his iPhone 6 plus shipment.
lol
That's the iAnt - it costs an extra $200 and you can only buy it when you first purchase your phone. Other manufacturers let you use your own ants, and swap for a larger ant at any time.
Matthew Sharpe Hahahaha best Comment
where? I wanna see it
The battery is a beast. I ve been using it for 3 days and it does deliver. I now use both the note 3 and 6+. Note 3 for calls, texts and occasional multimedia and 6+ for games, music, face time and TH-cam. Can't wait for the Note 4 Edge
The 6 plus is so massive! :O
I went for the iphone 6, it's a more manageable size.

^I have the iPhone 6 in gold and honestly I think the battery life in it is amazing I don't know if it's the same For other people but it's really good and I love my phone a lot
Georgia M Yeah my battery life is good too! What really wears it down for others if that they listen to music on it and I keep my music separate on an iPod shuffle. Plus I'd carry a portable charger with me all the time, so I don't worry so much about my phone going dead on me.
+The Ultimate Variety Channel™ i went from the ipod 5 [tiny and yes i know that it is not an iphone] to the iphone 6 plus and after about two days the ipod felt tiny and the iphone 6 plus feels normal
I have both a 6 plus and a HTC one m8...coming from someone who is not bias to Apple or android, I truly think that the iPhone is much better - more user friendly, overall smoother and faster experience and just feels more premium
I have the note 4 and it sometimes freezes .. thinking of getting a iPhone 6 or 6plus
thats good i think iphone 6 plus is good
6plus is too Gud frnd
Keana Silva 6 plus is to gud
Have an iPhone 6+ and love it so far. Really hard to say if the iPhone6 would have been better...
One-handed usage is a relatively big deal, but everything else you do with your phone aside from calling (web-browsing, watching videos, playing games, looking at photos) is exponentially better on the larger display. That new LCD sure is gorgeous on the 6+.
Wow. Amazing. Canceling my Samsung Note Order
You'll regret it.
***** Samsung 'used' to LAG. It doesn't LAG from Note 3 onwards. Maybe if you're a picky freak. And stylus is handy for shopping lists, pen window etc. which an average consumer will use for instance, to play a youtube video and do something else at once. You can do so much more with the Note and it is a much better looking product IMO.
You will realize this mistake when your phone BENDS over.
VoodooMadMike41 I agree with you, with huge phones, Samsung has the best features... even though it's buggy.. but offers more than the iphone 6 plus. When it comes to the S5... well... more of a personal choice but i'll prefer either iphone 6 or HTC one m8.
VoodooMadMike41 I *am* a picky freak, that's why I prefer iOS devices to Android having used Android since Gingerbread. Used to hate iPhones until I acquired taste.
Taylor you just made the best, most honest review I have seen so far! Bravoooo for that.
Anyone else hate that iPhone 6 ad that comes up on TV all the time, and all the guy had to say was, "huge"? Like, wow, I get it. Totally 'cool'. You have a big screen, too bad you didn't mention any way you actually took advantage of it.
Bigger screen for porn?
Chuck Norris You have the TV or your laptop for that ;)
Yes its more slim - but still not as functional as an Android phone - WHY SQUARES EVERYWHERE
I recently bought Motorola V3688 - I had one 15 year ago and I bought unpacked one for $300 - I use the phone only for phone calls, but when people see me it they are going mad about it! I love it! Best phone ever made for what it is, for phone calls!
I just LOVE mine! And I have the black one!!💛❤️💙💜💚
no one cares about your icrap 😅
+flute is life You are hating because you can't afford it.
+flute is life android fan girl
I'm an android guy and I used the 6+ yesterday and absolutely loved it. The size is not too big but it is slippery so it definitely needs a case. The screen is A LOT better than the normal iPhone 6 screen especially in sharpness and the battery life does seem epic. It's just a lot of money for what I think is still not as robust as an android phone. Also as a side note use one of these before you buy it because the power button on the side was a little too high for my liking.
Am I the only apple fan boy that is disappointed this year? I mean even watching the keynote and all I heard was amazing, truly epic, killer display..... This is not an upgrade to the 5S. Protruding camera? Yeah cause that was meant. I love iOS personally. But come on, another 8mega pixel camera??? We heard different lense the first time and now all new iSight 8 mega pixel!
Let me leave on this note, iOS is not for everyone, and to be honest your average iPhone user doesn't look for features they look for consistent excellence and the iPhone in my opinion does it with ease.
Just because I'm not jumping with excitement at the iPhone 6 doesn't mean I'll switch to something else. The iPhone 5S is the best iPhone in my opinion.
Indeed
Exactly george... the only thing i care about my phone is how it performs.. my 5s is consistent and never lags, im not a features guy.
IPhone 6 is literally a iPhone 5s with a larger display, and a few small irrelevant changes. Note 4 or G3 it is for me, not sure which I'll get but my g flex just isn't doing it for me anymore.
Well I sold my iPhone 5S ready too buy the 6 and I was disappointed I bought a Samsung Galaxy S5 and to be honest it's a cracking wee phone. Thought I would have sold it by now but I still have it. Thanks for the reply.
George McNeil What do you mean by "cracking wee phone" I had the S3 and didn't care for it much. I love LGS design more though.
I've hade the iPhone 6 plus for a little more than a month and I really love it, the only downfall so far is the battery, it's IMPRESSIVELY good the first month, then it gets pretty bad, not as bad as a earlier iPhone but not what you expected from the iPhone 6+. After a day in school with normal use of the phone I'll have to charge it in the evening. That's it for me, I still recommend the 6+ though :)
I wonder if that's because the battery is really high capacity, so people tend to go for long periods of time without charging it, instead of topping it up every night?
Love my 6 plus. Sure wish I can afford to carry a note 4 at the same time. I'm starting to save right now!
Lol your so like me , you just has to have the two top shelf smartphone's on the market don't you :)
Great..Mashallah
Are you afford to carry another iPhone 6 pluse too?
I'll send you my address to send it. . haha
Actually you are exactly like me but I am a girl
I like to have the best smart phones in the market. ,
Good luck
spend that money on some rogaine
Why get 2 phones? I understand it's your life and all, but it seems kinda useless.
Gregory Pabst I love tech, the more the better. Obviously I would only carry one.
I switched from my Nexus 5 and LOVE IT! It's weird cause I was a Nexus 5 Fanboy...but my 6 Plus changed that big time!
I know I'm not the only girl who wonders how big it is in their hands....
Autumn Collins it's a good 8 inches with a case on it.
Left android for the 6 plus, not regretting it one bit. If it's within your means get the 128gb model. It's so worth having the storage space and I love having all things Microsoft on my phone so I can be productive on the run. Simply something that runs fast and seamlessly.
I'm not going to say anything bad about the Iphone 6 but I only had mine for less than 24 Hours. I took it back and got the Note 4. The phone is just TOO damn limited and barely have good features. If you want to buy the Iphone, by all means, get it. For me, That phone doesn't come close to what the Note 4 can do.
I like the size of the iPhone 6 plus. You could practically get rid of your iPad ... but I really like the pen feature of my Samsung note 3
Everyone hates this phone, yet I can't find it anywhere.
Ik I was getting it for my birthday and that was like to weeks ago still can't find one
Who told you everyone hates the phone? iFans love the phone. They love anything from Apple.
People are flocking to Apple stores and buying them to test whether it bends or not...
^ mhmm, sure. If that helps you sleep at night.
Boost mobile got it
I got a black TPU S-curve case for my 6+ that shows the Apple logo on the back. The phone + case looks amazing and it is the most grippy setup I have ever used. Better looking than my iPhone 5, LG G2 and Note 3.
Fun fact: Android was inspired by ios. Android actually had to be changed because it was almost a carbon copy of ios
Android came before iOS dipshit this is coming from an iOS user as well
Funny how the first iPhone's processor was manufactured by Samsung.
Fun fact: You don't know facts
Marco Polio
additional fun facts:
iOS 5-8 was inspired by Android
6+ was inspired by Galaxy Note
Maps was inspired by Google
Watch was inspired by Samsung Gear
iPad was inspired by Microsoft tablet pc
iPad Pro was inspired by Galaxy Tab Pro
No ipads are the first tablets in the market...its amazing how supid u e
2 things I like the most on my iPhone 6 plus is the battery life and camera. the battery can run for a full day no problem, sometime it can run for 2 days. the camera is the best so far. love the slo-mo fuction. I know the phone is a little bit big but you will get use to it in 2 weeks. if you want to get the iPhone 6 plus. try to get 64gb or 128gb model. you going to needed.
Thank God it's not that Marco guy doing the review.... Seriously, he's the only one out of your staff that I skip right through. Keep up the great reviews! (and get rid of Marco)
...Marco?...from Phonedog?
Marco is from phonedog
matthew clouser I saw that lol... You know what I'm talking about though
76Duceman The guy's voice is annoying, and it looks as if he's trying to do the "The Rock" impersonation.
VTREX2010 IF YA WANT THIS PHONELALALALALALA....ok no. xD
I have the iPhone 6 plus in gold. Got it the first day it was released, and I upgraded from an iPhone 5. I love the screen size, but other than that and the improved camera, there's nothing really different. The phone seems to randomly crash from apps a lot more than my iPhone 5. And it's just so hefty to carry around like at social events. I may be selling it and just buying an iPhone 5s used.
Taylor Martin is such an iSheep. He blindly accepts everything Apple does as "awesome" I'd rather Michael Fisher review this Phone. So we can have some actual opinion, and not just fanboyism.
Nice vidio, I fingk I'll buy an 'I, fone' 6, soon!
Love your review of the iPhone 6 Plus finally found your channel again also I liked that you included another persons opinion about on the size.
Short Summary: It sucks
In depth Summary: The iPhone 6 Plus Sucks.
Then why are you here? Go away
NightcoreCentral Because I enjoy PocketNow's content?
I don't understand people that hate something but still watch videos of it, are you jealous or are you trying to find faults in it?
NightcoreCentral He enjoys pocketnows content, and he is commenting his opinion about it
NightcoreCentral I just copy pasted a comment in another review. Chill man, it's just a joke.
Navigation keys is awesome. I use landscape more to type all the time, so each user is different. The poster gives his opinion and usage patterns ... make sure to compare it to your own usage.
I use to be a Samsung die hard till Samsung did and update and screwed my cell up, I immediately switched to and iPhone 6 plus and it's only the second day and I will not be going back to Samsung
I agree coming from a s5 to a 6+, iPhone just works. I couldn't go anywhere with the s5 without a damn charger it's ridiculous, or burning my hands from the heat when I used it too long. I will never go back to Samsung.
That's funny you posted this cause I had a note 4 and the recent update made my phone lag and battery dies faster to the point I would have two batteries. Now I can have a phone to last all day with my iPhone 6 plus
Four months late and I still love this phone and it just keeps getting better. I am one to try an upgrade to the latest phone but this will be my third baby for a couple years! Glad everyone is enjoy the iPhone! Oh and the galaxy phone was terrible with over heating, my daughter could play her games on it at all
+Angi G you just had to do a factory rest after update :D
+DucSector we actual did that, I went to the Verizon store and did a factory reset and it made the phone worse, it froze on the guy as well, they told me my best option was to upgrade to the next samsung, I laughed and decided it was time to switch, iPhone 6 plus has been the best phone and I am still trying to find one thing to complain about it and I can't, for a big phone and how much I use it, the battery life is awesome, speed is awesome and it's my favorite color Gold
I feel you man, I had every iPhone up to the 5 and I always had a Android device, but I couldn't take the small size of the iPhone anymore and I said I will get a iPhone again when they make a big one, I have the Note 4, Nexus 6 and iPhone 6 plus and i love all 3.
The dream phone--- HTC M8 WITH 3200MAH BATTERY! 2K DISPLAY 805 CHIP 13 SONY CAMERA (REMOVE HTC LOGO FRONT ADD SCREEN!!) STOCK ANDROID!!!
*****
Htc and stock android? are you serious?
Tarik Jasim You can buy a stock android one 8 directly from Google.
I would have bought the HTC if it had a replaceable battery.
No man the gpe project have stopped atheistmecca
Tarik Jasim
Someone should tell Google that because they're still selling it.
I totally know what you mean in regards to carrying both mobile OS around for what you need. I always carry my Moto X and iPod touch 5th gen daily.
hey does your or anyone's 6 or 6 plus make a loud click wherever the home button is pressed? What I mean by loud is that you can HEAR the click when the home button is pressed? PLEASE HELP!!!!!
thanks kckishan so you can actually hear the click? does it bother you?
My brother's 5S does it.
5 does that bud.
Mine makes a normal button clicking noise like all iPhones.
Question is - does your iphone 6 or 6 plus also BEND ( coz its so well constructed with aluminium) while pressing the home button? LOL
Hey Taylor. I've been following your video coverage of the iPhone 6/ 6+ this last week. Thx btw. You guys gave me enough objective feedback to make a informed decision.
That being said I'm still waiting for your take on the swipe left and right navigation feature. Some of you have criticized Apple for sticking with the top left back button, never mentioning you can use gestures instead. I'd love for you to cover this in one of Pocketnow's future videos.
a phone that almost requires case...just to hold securely. so much for using metal. apple doesn't have any regard to balancing and making the phone comfortable to hold. they are getting worse every year. even when iphone was small it wasn't grippy at all
+TheMellowManiac nope pretty sure it's the phone my note 3 fits snug
Metal is not the problem. 4 months here with the htc one M8 never dropped it even once.
I responded to the original comment about "so much for using metal" not to you. not sure why YT doesn't show it right.
It's the design being good looking and feeling but hard to get a good grip.
Its soft metals doesn't have a good metal for the frame inside the phone like on the notes from samsung. Samsung has never had this problem even with the plastic phones, and the new note4 looks better and it way more solid than this overpriced garbage isheep following device apple has come out with.
Okay so no case all week and no bending? That's a good sign. I'm getting mine tomorrow been waiting since pre order day! I ordered the 6 plus on pre order day from Sprint corporate store and it's just coming in tomorrow! I think if bending is really a issue it's going to pick up fast because most of the pre orders are just starting to come in!
I ssear to god one of these days, we will all be using phones the size of food trays.
this comment actually had me ROFL
They'll make stain resistant screen protectors so the display won't get spaghetti stains on it? Too funny.
nothing beats my first huge Motorola Phone i had 16 years ago - Ah I feel old
I have an iPhone 5s. I thought it was a huge screen coming from the iPhone 4s. My wife has an iPhone 6 plus and I love it! I just can't wait till march to upgrade!!
Anyone on here has the SE?
Nesha Britwood me
Simply put, try out the Plus for at least a couple of days. You will be surprised how wonderful it is! The screen and battery life is AMAZING! With use, you wouldn't even notice the size at all!
Oh, and yes- once you go big you can never go back!
between the buried and me !
Just my two coppers. But the one thing that's kept me from IOS phones is the size. I've long been a Samsung user simply because of the size of my videos I watch. I just ordered my Iphone 6+. Im pretty excited to finally make the switch.
Can't use this phone one handed. There is simply no grip
I can ...
+Ana Hernandez and how big are your hands exactly
+breezy I held a iphone 6 plus in a store and it was fine. I have a big hands
use it one handed all the time. no problem
+breezy Would it be unpractical for someone with small hands like me? I have very small hands but I like the bigger look of the iphone 6 plus. I think it is great for watching movies, videos, games, etc.
I love your reviews man! Continue the great work, thank you!!
Although I prefer android, I was intrigued about the iphone 6 plus. I'm not an android fan boy where as I won't consider an Apple product at all. However, after watching this video, I think pre-ordering the Note 4 is the right choice. At least for me.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
I believe the battery life is so good because the multi-tasking features that would take advantage of the larger phone are just not there. They used the extra space for a larger battery, basically giving you a larger iPhone, which is what you said. You said the low light was good but I disagree. I have an iPhone and I am a first time user coming from using a Lumia Icon. Maybe I was spoiled by the low-light feature from the Lumia but Wow! I never needed a flash with the Icon but I find myself needing it with the iPhone. The pics are underwhelming without it. Maybe this warrants a side-by-side comparison?
Between The Buried And Me!!! But good video. I think I've decided to get the 6 Plus!
I am getting the 6 plus we'll hopefully for Christmas and I can't wait
I own a 6 plus and I love it. I have no complaints about it.
Great review. I appreciate it when someone is expert & focused on their task. I had taken it for granted that the iPhone 6 plus would not be right for me, too big just too big.
But then I took a drastic step.
I went to the Apple Store and actually picked one up. It felt right, just right. I was surprised because I had already made up my mind. And as far as the features, Apple is a superior product. That's a given.
Deal with it.
Extremely pleased with the battery life! Best I had was 3 1/2 days stand by, 12 1/2 hours of usage. Longest stand by was 4 days, for now. I BARELY used my phone today, 1 hour of usage, 12 hours of stand by and have 99% left.
I ordered my iPhone 6+ 64gb in gold from Apple Store uk, and this bending issue guys, trust me it does not bend. Me and my brother went to our local electrical store and we both tried to bend and it didn't. The reason I went for iPhone 6+ is because the battery is very good.
Good Luck on your next adventure thanks for the mobile insights .. Take a breath!!!
Sounds good. I think I'll get the 6 plus. I'm getting tired of android and apple finally got a big screen phone.
My wife will not even consider the plus until a fashion wallet case is available. I agree the plus has some "frailty" issues. Having put hands on a Note 4 yesterday I am thinking of it and waiting until Android L is available for my large phone.
Good review, points and stuff I didnt know. I ordered the 6 Plus a couple days ago. Im still using the 4.0 from July 2010 with iOS 6 so its going to be a big change in size and function. Im getting a case because it will be dropped, plus it gives it some additional strength.
I currently have the Nexus 6 with Sprint and I'm eligible to upgrade next month. I'm considering the 6+. I've never owned an iPhone so this will be a HUGE learning curve for if I decide to make the switch.
Great review thanks. If all reviewers were as honest as you it will go a long way to assist with what device to get.
Keep up the good work
Just recently bought a LG Flex. I love the multitasking, extra windows, and dual apps. What's the point of having a big screen without those features? It seems Apple didn't take advantage of the large screen.
I held the iPhone 6+ and have to say it felt amazing and really well built (ignoring the iBend statements). But I'd still take a HTC One M8 any day. Congrats to Apple though, I can easily see why this phone is desirable.
Thank you for this honest review of the handset. I like that you gave all of the current features of the handset. I would buy the iphone 6 because I have a tablet and do not need a big phone. I am probably going to upgrade to the iphone next year with jump when the 6S comes out.
Switched from a note 3 to an iPhone 6'plus the other day, I don't regret it a single bit.
Good honest review. Thanks for sharing it with us.
The best implementation of a 5+ screen has been done by LG. I have no idea why apple had to chase the phablet market? I mean most of the people I have talked or seen only got the iPhone 6+ because of the better battery! But otherwise they don't like that big of a phone (majority of people) only if they didn't chase the slim game and made the iPhone 6 just a bit bulkier to give it a better battery(2300 or above) then it would have been great. I'll still opt for the HTC one m8.
3:06 Wow, haven't seen a reviewer with good taste in music.. until now. Good on you dude, BTBAM rule!
I got the phone and have loved it it is my iPad in a phone form factor. The battery is amazing and the camera blows mind. I think that people that want this to be a Samsung Note but I do not. I like the big screen and battery that goes with. I also love the fact that you can have third party keyboard. Over all this is the best iPhone every and a foot note the video capability is amazing especially the slow motion capture.
I jus love how consistent the IOS operating system is. It's almost lag free. There is always lag issues with the Samsung
Phones that ive used which on paper packs a hell of a lot more power.
Nice review !! Oh yes I like the background on your 6+....where did u find it ??
Apart from its price, iphone 6 plus is the best phone! I have upgraded from lumia 1020 to 6 plus and it feels fantastic
Great phone that should have came 2 years ago. I couldn't live without my macbook pro but this.. i can live without
I myself carry both an android (HTC one m7) and IOS (iPhone 5) device. "Which I will update to the M8 and 6 plus. Not just because one phone is better than the other but because they are unique in their own ways. I love the simplicity and easy usage of the iphone. But when it comes down to file downloading and music listening I would prefer the M7 with beats audio. My point is that it's all up to user and what he/she wants out of a mobile device that they will be using on a daily basis for what ever they might need it if it's either for business,gaming,web browsing, or just making phone calls, texting and emailing.
I'm not loyal to any one brand anymore. I have the Xperia Z Ultra, Lumia 1520 and Galaxy Note 3, I love what apple has done with the 6 plus and will definitely be buying one pretty soon. Their previous phones were more for girls in my opinion. I just dont know if I should get it now or wait for the 6s plus.
can't wait for my iphone 6 plus im getting it in 2 days :) i love apple but changed to xperia z2 coz battery life matters so much to me. now that they have an iphone that has an amazing battery life i am just super happy and cant contain my excitement hheeh i got the gold!
I'm pretty happy with the battery life I get from my iPhone 6, before I couldn't get through 3 hours of use before I would be down to 70% and need to plug in, now I can go a full day without charging and have 30% by night 👍
I believe anyone's best bet would be to get an unlocked one on Amazon. I'm not sure how cellular contracts work, it may be cheaper, but purchasing an unlocked iPhone 6/6 Plus on Amazon is a great move. I bought my 6 Plus on Amazon, it hasn't arrived yet, and I'm scared to find out exactly how big it is up close haha
Damm, "navigaton arroy buttons", one of the things I've always wanted in a virtual keyboard.
You cant block private callers in settings like you can do with android phones.
You would expect it to be a pre-installed feature.
Great review. Im an avid apple customer, but if they don't drastically step up their innovations; Im Samsung bound after this iphone 6 plus purchase.
Great Video. And I like the iPhone 6 Plus. I normally would never even consider buying an iPhone but this 6 Plus has made me want to check out iOS.
Taylor .. Your reviews always great.
The iPhone 6 Plus is a great phone. I would really prefer it to people who want to have a phablet. Though when it comes to price, I'll go with the Note 4 since it's a bit cheaper but both phones are great and it depends on what the user's needs.
I think the 6 Plus is my next device. I love android, but being a phone junky it's nice to have a bit of change every now and then.
